I Certainly Don’t Wanna Discuss that Issue–Birth Control or Women
McCain was recently answering questions when something he hadn’t expected happened–Someone asked about the fact that many health care providers will cover Viagra but refuse to cover birth control. Apparently a man’s ability to get it up and have sex is great, just as long as the woman isn’t using birth control and exercising her right to safe sex.
Before the woman even finished asking the question, as soon as McCain heard the words birth control, he said that he certainly didn’t want to discuss that issue and hadn’t given the issue much thought at all. The woman then reminds him of the fact that he voted against a bill that would cover birth control on health care plans. The following video is of John McCain’s reaction to the question and how it took him over 2 minutes and a lot of awkward laughing to say that he had absolutely no idea how he voted, what he thinks about granting women the right to get birth control covered on their health care plans and really, that he doesn’t really give birth control or women, for that matter, much thought at all.
Glad he thinks it’s so funny.

On a related note, I urge you to check out Feministing’s latest Friday Feminist Fuck You by Ann who covers another bill John McCain voted against because it would have benefited women and he’s a complete misogynist. But if you asked him about it, he would probably tell you he couldn’t remember.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. It seems more and more obvious to me every day men continue to run this country and until women speak up more it’s never going to change. It is 2008 people, not 1958!

Yep its 2008
I also think that John McCain really had absolutely no idea how he voted.

No, see, we just don’t get the humor! Cause we’re humorless females. The fact that he hasn’t given any thought to the rights of 51% of the population is hilarious! His giggling like a middle-schooler on a whip-it binge is perfectly understandable. Uppity bitches just gotta get over themselves and they’d see- it’s funny!

GAH! I just don’t even know what to say to this. Not that I’m surprised, but I’m just so fucking angry.

Hm, yeah McCain showed his “intelligence”. I think he need someone to help him get an opinion on this issue…

I can´t understand why some guys act like that! I´m so happy of not being one of these idiots!

Ugh – that is appalling! Not that I cared much for McCain to begin with, but this definitely makes it clear that this is NOT the man who should be running our country!

I cannot believe that people actually want to vote for that man even though he knows nothing about the issues. He constantly ‘cannot ‘remember his voting record and always gets off track of the original question. What an idiot.

If there wasn’t birth control then there would be a heck of a lot more abortions.

Isn’t it surprising that this guy gets votes? This just tells you how many Americans think the same way he does. Shouldn’t we go forward, not backwards in time?

Wow, this is retarded. I don’t get the big issue with birth control. It should be a good thing. The less unplanned pregnancies the better. People who have kids and aren’t planning for it a lot of times aren’t ready to cope with the responsibilities of being a parent. We need responsible parents if our society is going to move forward. Not to mention birth control helps keep the population in check. The earth only has so much room.
His reaction was ridiculous.

Its better to control birth then abortion. Abortion is killing a life. Every life on earth counts.
So, the next time you see a spider, wasp, mosquito, mouse, rat, cockroach, bat, and so on, you’re going to capture it and bring it safely outside to resume its life? Or does every life on Earth count in favor of the cute and cuddly only?

Whats the big deal about Birth Control with him then? why doesn’t he want to discuss it?

Wow. This is definitely a touchy issue, but I think everyone here agrees. He shouldn’t be the one saying what is or isn’t right for each individual woman. And like Nintend Wii For Sale said, if women didn’t have a right to take birth control, there would be a lot more pregnancies, which would lead to abortions. Sad part is there would be a lot of teen pregnancies also.

What a pig. Does this mean if he becomes president we’re all gonna have to be barefoot, fat and pregnant every 9 months for his duration of presidentcy?
